My current research is directed at the development of a Learning Outcomes Assessment Instrument for a single semester biochemistry course. Outcome assessments are an educational instrument designed to assess whether a student has an accurate understanding/working knowledge of a set of defined and specific concepts within an academic discipline. Instruments like these are currently being used in biology, physics, and chemistry to evaluate the effectiveness of new teaching methodologies within these disciplines.
